How to knit the Chinese Waitress Cast On

How to knit the Chinese Waitress Cast On

 

Using a Needle

Using a Crochet Hook

The Chinese Waitress Cast On is a little more complicated way to cast on than your average cast on stitch. The beauty of this cast on is that it looks the same on the front side and the back side, which is great for shawls. We recommend this cast on for our Mystery Knit Shawl 2018. As well as our Mystery Knit Afghan 2019 pattern. Once you master this cast on, you will love it! With practice and patience, you’ll have this cast on down pat before too long!

Looking for a project to try your new skill on? Check out the Mystery Knit Afghan 2019 Pattern as well as the Mystery Knit Shawl 2018 Knitting Pattern, it’s the perfect application for this cast on.

Let us know how you like this cast on in the comments below!

"This sweater pattern is easy, pretty, fun to knit, and looks so professional! Even picking up stitches which isn't too easy for me, she makes it easy to do! It's great, can't wait to finish it and begin the hat that goes with it. Lara is patient and answered all my questions and dealt with my frustrations!" (Little Elsa's Sweater)
